To be honest you are best doing it at the sound check at the gig. If you set the amp up anywhere else you are going to end up tinkering on the night anyways.

admin answers:

Hi Benjamin,
I personally haven’t heard the bands that you’ve mentioned, but I suppose I won’t be off the mark by much with the following amp settings for “Rock Settings”:
Considering your amplifier knobs go from 0-10,
Bass: 4
Mid: 7
Treble: 5

Adjust your guitar knobs along the same lines. Tinker!

I usually like it as: Mid > Treb > Bass. Its not to say that you can’t change it…

Along with the above settings, use your neck pickup for a more “whole” sound, and your bridge pickup for more “twangy” or harsher sounds… Add a touch of reverb or slight chorus and you’re ready to go.

PS: If I may suggest something very sincerely… Since you’ve just barely started playing guitar, I’d urge you to get used to the *bare* minimums (guitar + amp only) and learn how to work with it before going on to pedals and different effects. Its a good character building exercise for beginners playing the electric. You need to learn your guitar and amps bare nature to add zing to it using pedals and stuff. But it finally upto you.

admin answers:

On overdrive

Gain 10
Bass 1
Middle 3
Treble 8
Reverb 4
Volume 10
Master about 2

That’ll get you a very trebbely sound, something like Dimebag Darrell

Its my favorite

admin answers:

The key to all of these sounds is setting up the proper gain and E.Q..

For blues and classic rock you can use similar settings. Start with the gain at about 1/2 to 2/3 (5-7), set the bass at about 8, the mid at about 5-6, and the treble to about 6. Keep the presence about 5 (most marshall amps have a presence control, if yours does not boost the treble up a bit)

For rock set the gain at about 7-8, set the bass about 7-8, set the mid at about 4, set the treble at about 7-8 (more or less depending on presence).

For metal set the gain on 9-10, bass on about 7, mid at about 0-2 (this is known as a “scooped” mid), treble at about 6-7 (again, depending on presence)

This amp has several effects built in. Try using a bit of vibe and a bit of reverb on the blues setting. For the rock sound, add a slow chorus and a medium delay set for a couple of repeats at about 1/2 the volume (mix).
For the metal sound set up a quick slap of delay set to about 80-100ms with the mix set to about equal volume.

You can set the first channel to give you a good clean tone with just a bit of crunch for your clean sound and use the volume on the guitar to go from clean to a bit of an edge, then use the boost on that channel to step up the gain to your blues sound.
Set the next channel to go from your rock tone to your metal sound by hitting the boost on it.

These are just guidelines to give you a ballpark estimate. Use your own ears and the guitars different pickup combination’s to fine tune the tone!.

HEY MAN! Ive got the same amp! Of course i had to experiment with it for a while but yeah its not a bad amp D.

Anywayz if youre a beginner in amps guitar etc, you should try to experiment more and research on ur amp D

Bck to the point. Ok.Gain is smth like the amount of smth (according to me), which is like more metal(distortion) or a heavier sound. Level is like your volume. High mid and bass are like ur strings. I think its seprated 2 by 2s. High is the highest 2 strings and so on. It makes it somewhat louder and more outstanding than the other segments. Quite useful D

As for ur settings, clean is well, clean xD, blues is well, blues xD, crunch is like clean, just a LITTLE LITTLE bit dirter, according to ur amp. British is a very fat somewhat middle distortion or overdrive. Very thick and fat sound lol. Solo is the cleanest overdrive/dist between metal and british. And metal is heavy rock xDXD.

I think you should use metal and increase ur bass maybe bout 2,3 o clock? Than the rest maybe lower 10, 9 o clock. And u might wanna increase ur gain and the volume on ur eguit which works as gain as well. Ive never heard the song be4 but going by their genre..yeah..

Hope this helps D ROCK ON m/~~~

I don’t know about Miami, but you can always find neat vintage stuff at Goodwill. Go to Goodwill’s website and type in your zip code and they will have a list of locations near you.

I would also always check out any garage sales you see in your area. Most people’s garage sales are stuff they’ve just had piled up in their closet, so why don’t you take it out of their hands?

Vintage clothes are clothes from earlier decades which have been preserved & were in fashion back then i guess. People buy vintage because of its obvious uniqueness and some clothing pieces from like the 40s, 50s, and 60s are timeless and should not die with the wearers!!

I personally love the styles from back then and deffo like them better than the horrid and cliche “fashionable” hollister or abercrombie and fitch *gaggggg*

I see a little silhouetto of a man. Scaramouch, Scaramouch. Will you do the Fandango?

admin answers:

It depends. Your brother would have to go to the ticket window to get his ticket with either his mom’s credit card or if you print out the confirmation number they can retrieve it that way. The person in the booth may not give him the ticket if he is too young unless your mom is getting it with him. However, if they have the ticket kiosk where you can go and handle that without a person, just the computer, it will print the ticket out for you. Once your brother goes inside though, they may not take his ticket if he is too young and they may reject him. Usually PG-13 movies aren’t too strict, it’s the R movies. It also depends on the person if they care while they’re working or if they don’t care what happens cause they hate their job.

Ive bought a couple tickets from them in the past, I have never had a problem. They seem legit. If the show is sold out the site will say there are no tix available.

admin answers:

Bring ur laptop

admin answers:

You should definitely get there a few hours early to get a good seat (even if you bought the tickets beforehand). The movie WILL be sold out and people will get there early too. Last November I showed up an hour and a half before the movie started (so I got there at 10:30) and I was one of the last people in line. I was extremely lucky to get a seat with my boyfriend right next to each other but we were in the front far left corner which was an uncomfortable spot. I plan to show up 3 hours early this time since it will be one of the last midnight showings I will go to and I don’t plan on wasting it. Just bring something to do while in line because it will probably be boring (of course you could always talk to the people around you because I love talking to Harry Potter fans!). I hope this helped, and have fun!!!

I’d take a good look at those speakers and determine if they are the originals. Also take an even better look at how they are wired. It’s possible that whoever had it last swapped out the speakers and / or messed with the wiring. It sounds to me like the speaker load is wrong and that’s triggering a protection circuit. If they are the wrong speakers, that could do such a thing. I believe these should be 16 Ohm speakers but that’s just an educated guess. Perhaps someone swapped in 8 Ohm speakers.

admin answers:

Have you tried a different guitar (or other instrument) into the amp? Perhaps the problem is the output on the guitar.

You may also get better responses posting in a different section. Car audio is a different beast only some what related to guitar/amps.

Hello there,

The Fender Frontman FM 212R has a decent clean channel. I don’t really care for the built in distortion in most amps. The distortion with this amp is not bad or good, but pretty much typical.

It pushes 65 watts through two 12 inch speakers. That can be quite loud. I don’t know how loud you need. This should be enough for small and medium gigs. It is as about as loud as any 2×12 combo. The vintage Marshall 2×12 combos may be louder, but not a lot.

If you need more volume than this, you need a 4×12 speaker cab. In that case, I would not buy the FM 212R. I would pick up a good head and shop for a 4×12 cab.

Later,

Hello again,
Bass and treble can be adjusted through an EQ pedal. I use a distortion pedal through the clean channel with most amps anyway. So that will not be a problem. I think the FM 212R is a good amp. However, if you think it has lousy distortion, bass and treble, why would you buy it? Seems like you would buy an amp you like.

admin answers:

I did a little checking on the web, it seems that the Marshall 412 cabinet is rated at 120 watts. The speakers G12 speakers are rated at 30 watts each. There are higher wattage G12′s…they will have a rating on them. You have to make sure that the ohms and watt ratings are the same as the Fender speakers. If your G12′s came out of a Marshall 412 cabinet, my guess is that only 2 of them don’t have the muscle to handle the Fender’s 100 watts. Depending on the ohms and the way you wire them (series or parallel) you may be able to match the power rating but you have to ask yourself…….why?

The Fender has decent speakers that are designed to sound good with that cabinet. It’s not like Celestions are some incredibly sough-after upgrade. In a lot of circles, Celestions are considered run-of-the-mill. If you want a true upgrade, look at some heavy duty EV speakers.

What might make sense is to build a 412 cabinet. It’s not rocket science, just basic high school shop class carpentry. Get some plywood and grille cloth. Read a little about how the wiring affects the impedance and power handling: http://www.bcae1.com/spkrmlti.htm

Bottom line: The Celestions aren’t an upgrade to your Fender….don’t fix it if it ain’t broke. Use the Celestions for some other project…build a 412 cabinet or some stage monitors.

No idea. Have you tried the Amps forum at Harmony Central? It’s a good place to ask this sort of question.

Http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forumdisplay.php?f=28

Good luck.

admin answers:

What you probably should try is to connect your pedal to the amp as usual and then connect the line output of the amp to the active speaker. Even better would be to get a mixer and connect everything to that (mics, instruments etc) and then connect the output of the mixer to the powered speaker. That way you can control the balance between the mics and Instruments.

Another option would be to place a mic near the amp and get the sound that way.

There is no perfect way to get the sound from your guitar but the two ways I listed are done the most often.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there isn’t a headphone jack on a 212r. I own one, and it is a fun little amp to have, probably one of the better solid-state amps out there, but it does lack a headphone jack. The other piece of bad news is that there isn’t a real feasible way of hooking up a pair of headphone to the amp. No matter how you try to rig it with additional pieces of equipment you are going to get sound out of the speakers on the amp. The only way to get a headphone jack on the amp would be to take it to a tech and have the amp modded, which would cost you a pretty penny. I own a fm 212r, and I love it, but I would recommend grabbing a small practice amp that has a headphone jack instead of trying to rig one up on the 212r. I’d take a look at the Bugera v5.

Http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Bugera-V5-5W-1×8-Tube-Guitar-Combo-Amp?sku=502586

I own this small practice amp (it’ll run you ’bout 150 bones). It is a 5 watt tube amp which means you’ll get a wonderful full tone out of it, and it also has a headphone jack too! It gets plenty loud for bedroom practice (way more than enough), but it won’t do you any good playing with a band as it won’t be loud enough to compete with the drummer. I use it for practice (with and without headphones) as well as recording and I’ve loved it too just as much as my other amplifiers.

I hope this helps you out a bit or at least gets you looking into alternatives to rigging up the 212r with a headphone jack.

admin answers:

Hello there,

You can use a speaker cabinet with the FM212r. You run a line from the out jack to the speaker cab. That cuts the signal to the internal speaker and runs it to the cab

As I recall the FM212r has an 8 ohm output. That means you should look for a speaker cab that is wired for an 8 ohm load to avoid impedance mismatch and work best. You are safe running a solid state amp into a higher ohm rated load, but not lower. So you can safely use a speaker cab wired for 16 ohms. You can not safely use a speaker cab wired for 4 ohms.

The speakers in the FM212r are pretty decent. I don’t know what you do not like about their tone, so I cannot recommend different sounding speakers.

admin answers:

Hello there,

Yes of course, you can list the trade in craigslist. I think you would have better chance of getting this done by selling your FM 212R and then buying a Line 6. You will probably have a tough time finding a trade. You won’t be able to get it done with a store. They don’t make even trades. The store needs to make a profit. The Line 6 Spider 150 watt 2×12 would be what you are looking for. Pretty good amp; I have one.

admin answers:

You could probably get a reverb of some quality, but I don’t know. In my experience, when you add reverb to any effect peddle, it is sort of a crap shoot, especially like in this case, the EHEM effect includes reverb.

You’re gonna end up with three different sources providing reverb, plus the other bending or compressing effects of the peddle. All that is going to mix together and need to be adjusted at the amp, the guitar, and the peddle. At some point after you tweek everything, you may get the sound you want. I mean with all the potential for adjustments etc., there’s no way to tell without trying it.

admin answers:

I had the 212R. It was a horrible amp. It’s loud though. I ended up giving it away. You’ll want to invest some cash in a Distortion pedal, and an MXR 10 band EQ.

admin answers:

I’m more of a dist/pedal guy but if i had to choose one of these amps , for all the music genres you mentioned , i’d go with line6. I’m convinced that the 212r can do well in all of those tasks but you just don’t see many metal musicians boasting creds to their ”fender” amps. I’m a metal drone so line6 is very popular for that. If metal is a big part of your repertoire you might have to really try the amp a good bit.

Hopefully some non-pedal , real amp guys can answer your question better.

I think Jo-Anns’ husband is right. I was going to say something like that.

But also, the selection of a guitar is a very personal thing. Imagine if you showed pics of two girls and asked us which one we think you should choose as a girlfriend. People would pick the one who looks better to them, but you can’t really choose until you KNOW both girls a little. You might not pick the prettier of the two.

If you go down to some place where they sell guitars and play a few guitars you will find them all different. Some you’ll like better than others, but that choice is completely subjective, someone else would like the other one better. Some you will like better than others, but out of maybe two or three dozen guitars you would find one that -sings- to you. It’s almost like falling in love at first sight.
